MBR problems do not wait for business hours. When a membrane is breached, a controller stops responding,
or a storm takes out half the plant, the response window is measured in hours. Permits, flows, and the
community served by the plant do not pause while a purchase order works its way through approvals.
Membrane cleaning frequency is increasing or mechanical cleaning is required due to failed headworks or operational issues
After the storm, we were working frantically trying to take care of our wastewater since our system had been flooded. We placed BLU|BOX units at crucial places in our wastewater system. If we didn’t have these units, we’d have no chance of our business community being able to open back up. Our schools are going to be able to have regular days where our little guys won’t have to go to portable units, and we couldn’t be more appreciative.
